Our school year 2018-19

our class reader

3KR have been reading The Diary of a Killer Cat. The book tells the tale of a cat who kills for fun and has no remorse for his actions. Anne Fine’s work has led us to creating wanted posters for Tuffy (the title character), obituaries for his victims and diary entries for his poor, long-suffering owner.

3BH have been reading Fantastic Mr Fox as part of their reading and comprehension lessons. We have focused on developing our inferential skills by exploring the characters thoughts and feeling. We have used drama and freeze frames to help us empathise with the different characters within the story and develop our understanding of the text.

Computing

In Year 3 we have been learning how to code. This has involved us writing algorithms in order to make things move in a given way. We have also had to fix bugs in code to make it function correctly.
